A couple of question if you have a minute.
1) Recently there has been a lot of talk about how you lost some corps and some of the alliance leadership.
How has the alliance rebounded from this?
2) Since all of this has happened,
Will you be lowering your rates to reflect the current state of your alliance in the public eye?

There is talk that we died a couple of times and that we are dying again, yet here we are. When a duck gets eaten, others take their place. Not much to it.

We are changing our price plan because we like pew more then we like isk. We're hoping this will get us even more fights. |

I would hope so. Your KB percentages have been going down since February. You peaked at 88. 36 efficiency. March and April you have 67.62 and 61.97 respectively. This month, I know first day and all, but still you are sitting at a whopping 33.96. Not to mention that your overall average is at 70 percent.
With your KB stats going the opposite way they should and your overall efficiency sub 80 percent, This would legally put you in the mid tear Merc Alliance pay grade.

I am not trolling I am asking serious questions that you seem to deem worthless. If this your response to some "trolling" then I would hate to see what happens to your fleets when you run in to people that fight back.
As a merc corp/alliance you should hold your KB stats high, You should be open with the public and not act like a snob. The general EVE player knows that recent events that happened within your alliance, Bite Me leaving is a good example, make perspective clients uneasy with your high rates.
If these question are to forward, direct or hit close to home, Please send someone that is willing to answer these questions and not fall back on the "troll" card.

not only as a customer. I wanted to put an alt in ducks a few months ago because i really like the WH PVP as well but with all of the leaks about the drama and their PVP performance scraping bottom (losing almost as many T3's as they are able to kill---their killboard from April makes them look like kamikazes) I think the alliance needs rebuilding and recruiting (especially FC's) more than they need new contracts.
I wish them luck but I fear that the worst thing that could happen to them right now is that they actually get a contract. Public failure is the worst failure. Better right now to take a step back and pick up the pieces. |

To be perfectly honest though, if you are to hire mercs, you want the ones who go in for a fight even if they will lose as much as their opponents, rather than run away and hide if they sense danger.
Good for Narwals if they indeed don't shy away from fights with their T3s. EVE is a lot more fun if you rip the blueball tactic out of your playbook. |

Wow people are all-aboard on the "OMG DUCKS ARE FAILING!!!" train.... Grow up.
Around 70% efficiency is pretty standard for the larger WH corps since a singe loss is generally between 1-2bil. You wipe a T3 fleet once in a blue moon (no one can win them all) and youre looking at a 10-20bil hit to the KB which makes it near impossible to keep an extremely high efficiency unless you don't commit to any real fights.
About time you guys cut out the POS bash crap ;) |

Since the aggressor always has the element of surprise on their side, there really should be no reason to be losing almost as many T3's as you kill. To me it has "poor FC's" written all over it... YYMV

I can really understand not wanting to do the POS bashes. It's boring as hell.... but the fact is, if they're not participating in the POS bash then then they'll be running cover for people who *are* doing the POS bashes. People don't hire mercs in WH's to just go have fun with the locals..... refusing to do POS bashes seems naive to me because it's going to result in the same amount of sitting around waiting for something to happen..... maybe even more since they won't be helping with the main job at hand in most cases. |

I still foresee a market niche for POS/POCO bashing WH corp as subcontractors. Some people just aren't any good at shooting other people in eve like they are at shooting structures. Some(like me) are just terrible at this game. |

I can really understand not wanting to do the POS bashes. It's boring as hell.... However, people don't hire mercs in WH's to just go have fun with the locals..... There really are only two scenarios that would justify hiring mercs. Either you want someone's POS gone or someone is attacking *your* POS and you need help defending it. Either way, POS bashes are the name of the game as far as WH warfare goes.
The problem is that the average C1/C2 WH owner or "want to be future owner" expecting us Mercs to serve him for a price that is in no relation to what every of our members could do in the same time running lvl1 missions. Many customers seem to think that takeing down a large faction dickstar in a C1 is fun -> it is not ! And getting 30mil/member for it doesnt makes it more fun. So if you think that owning a low class WH with HS static is the way to go then also be prepared to pay a reasonable amount of ISK if you cant defend/capture it on your own.

Look at us all, answering questions.
I think we rejected you because of clich+¬ infested run-on sentences and your intent to "put an alt" in DUCK. You don't put an alt in DUCK, you go balls deep.
We're a proven force to our repeat customers, testimonials aren't too hard to find. And sometimes when we're most thirsty for pvp, our targets don't bother to check our kb stats, they just see the tags and try to run away.

Or perhaps it was experimentation, or challenging contracts.

Actually our best and most frequent contracts are pos defenses, which aren't quite as awesome as EVE pvp can possibly be but still pretty fun. |

As a mercenary, you get the job done. That's what you're paid for. That's what really matters.
If you cared about killboard efficiency well, you can just let the enemy smash the pos and as they start leaving gank them when they are at their weakest.
Your fleet is unharmed with a 100% efficiency, the same thing can't be said of your contractor's pos.
If you're hiring a mercenary, would you want to hire one who cares more about his killboard efficiency than the contract itself?
I find it funny how many of the posters are quick to criticize, when they themselves probably have no idea how things work.
I wouldn't care about whatever the mercs do as long as they do the jobs they are paid to do. Seeing how successful Narwhals has been, it will take more than just drama that every corp/alliance faces to change things. |

Did we hurt you or touch you in a way that it makes you post your anger and tears?
If that's the case, I say that our work is 1st Tier.

honestly have little/no experience with the DUCKS, but looking at their KB, even though their "efficiency" isn't 80%+ or whatever Internet Lawyer Steve thinks is appropriate, they still look like even when the cards are down, they bring the goodfite. That''s what makes a good merc alliance, the will to bring the goodfite.
If your're so awesome Steve, link your killboard Oh wait, forum alt. sorry bout that
Also, shameless bump. CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

They should charge a premium for simply working in wh space. This isn't some dime a dozen high sec merc work. It takes a lot of effort and time to do what they do.
Secondly, even though they are going through some stuff at the moment, I would still recommend them. Keep on keeping on, DUCKS! |
